The old couple boarded the van. As soon as they were seen, one could tell the love and care they still had for eachother. Both husband and wife were no less than 60 years of age. The old man, especially, looked very concerned with his wife getting on the van then getting seated. He had hearing-aid on his old ears and still he was able to understand well the rather low voice of his wife. He had a stick too for walking safely. He seemed very concerned about reaching their destaination in time…all the time looking at his wrist watch. He was a bit aggressive and harsh with the conductor of the van but very humane in manners to his wife. The journey seemed to pass with an eternal feeling of love and affection they had for eachother. Finally, they had reached their destination and he was able to tell the conductor with a loud voice. This time again, while getting off the van, the old man had lots of cocern about his wife getting out safely. He gave a hand to help her come out unharmed. And then they were gone…out of sight but not out of mind.
This beautiful memory of mine still fills my heart with great bit of joy whenever I reacall it. I happened to observe the whole narration when I was on my back to GIKI, about 2 months ago. The Old Couple boarded somewhere from the outskirts of Islamabad and got off the van at Wah Canttonment. I was a bit astonished at first may be because it was a rare sight. Mostly we obsereve husband and wife quarreling with eachother at the later stage of their life. And the rest of the journey I was kept occupied with the thoughts of discovering the real reason why the Old Couple still had so much affection for eachother… Was it that they had rarely seen a financial drop-out and lead a contented life? Or was it that they had no children to take care of them? Or was it that the realization that they had little time to care for eachother? (These were all the possible reasons I could think of). Whatever was it, no doubt it surely was a great reason behind it. But in the end all I could settle upon was that certainly they both had a beautiful innerself.
I am sharing here this one of the beatiful memories and I wish and pray that everyone could develop such a life-long love in their marital life. Ameen.
Keep smiling 
FIAMAN-ALLAH.
Ameen!
I’m glad you experienced such a lovely n beautiful incident. It’s true that we rarely come across such occurrences where the real care can be easily felt and observed. Usually people change in their marital lives, yet some emerge as gems and keep on shining till the end. Loved this post! =)
